Stone Garden Angel

Angels are representative of that which is holy, mysterious, and beyond comprehension. According to lore, these immortal beings watch over and protect us in times of danger and duress and very rarely reveal themselves. Incredibly beautiful to the point of being terrifying, these messengers from God leave a big impression on anyone who actually claims to have seen one. Most of us, though, have to settle for seeing statues of angels in churches and in our own backyards. The best angel sculptures are those that express a holy trio of majesty, beauty, and peace and few do this better than our Grand Cathedral Angel Sculpture.

Standing more than six feet tall, this majestic angel acts as an impressive centerpiece for any backyard. Modeled after breathtaking angel statuary from churches in Rome and other major European cities, our tall angel has elegant flowing robes and long hair. She holds her hands out to welcome guests to your garden and gazes down with wise, peaceful eyes. However, the most impressive features on this angel statue are her large, outstretched wings. These are no small, folded, feathered appendages but big, beautiful wings with highly detailed plumes. Put this impressive garden statuary on a pedestal to give her even more height but don't put her on display during freezing weather.

There are ups and downs to having a garden inhabited by fairies. According to folklore, the upside is that they can help your garden grow. They use their magic to give flowers the brightest of colors and fill vegetable patches with produce. However, those benefits don't come without a price. Fairies have to be treated with respect and provided with small gifts or they demonstrate their disappointment by sabotaging the garden and focusing on mischief.

In keeping with fairy folklore, we offer fairy statues that show their mischievous side. Pixies in particular are said to be fairies that would rather cause problems and play practical jokes than weed the garden. Stretch, the Garden Pixie laughs with glee as it leans forward to surprise your guests with a cold, wet frog. Its mischief is only matched by that of its partner in crime, Sling, the Garden Pixie. This fairy is clearly up to no good as it carefully aims its slingshot at your window, the nose of your favorite stone garden angel, or pet dog.

Both of these enchanting sculptures portray the mischievous nature of pixies with artistic detail. Their long, pointed ears, peaked hats, sinewy muscled appearance, and intelligent faces will make you wonder if these statues might just come alive on a midsummer's eve.

The backyard can be more than a place for growing vegetables and going for a swim. It can also act as your own private sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of life. That bit of greenspace can work like a charm for dealing with stressful situations and rejuvenation of the mind. While natural features like the chirping of birds and flower patches are important, the peaceful, healing aspects of the garden are heightened by certain types of decor. That special decor can be anything from a Buddha Statue to a few animal garden statues but angel statues seem to be especially suited for sculptures that are both peaceful and nurturing.

Add tranquility to the garden with the lovely Guardian Angel of Peace Statue. Nearly four feet in height, this beautiful, classic angel sculpture watches over your garden with small, outstretched wings and a childlike, endearing appearance.

The Heaven's Guardian Angel Garden Statue will add a beautiful, healing touch to any backyard. Based on a stone garden angel statue from Kerepesi, Budapest, Hungary, our angel holds and protects a child with a sweet embrace. The feelings generated by this angel and the beautiful details in her open wings and flowing gown could earn her a centerpiece spot in any garden.

Stone garden angels and Greek garden statues add a classic touch to any backyard but they don't have a monopoly on the much desired combination of quality and beauty. Many sculptures with a more modern look are just what a garden needs.

The Maiden of Peace Sitting Woman Sculpture is an expression of freedom, joy, and carefree beauty. With one arm reaching to the sky as she releases a dove and the other outstretched behind her, she makes an unfettered, fearless pose. Put this beautiful, inspirational sculpture in the garden, on a window ledge, or in the office to be reminded of happy, peaceful thoughts during stressful times.

One contemporary piece of decor that looks right at home next to the pool or near one of your outdoor garden water fountains is our modern water nymph statue. This flowing sculpture takes a page from ancient Greece and adapts it to modern times. This lovely faux bronze statue has a graceful liquid appearance that blends the female figure with water and myth.

For a beautiful, unique welcome sign, use the Garden Iris Cast Stone Obelisk. This solid, cast stone sculpture gives a peaceful welcome in the form of a scene showing a dragonfly hovering over an Iris patch.

Bring modern artistic beauty to the garden with these and other sculptures from Design Toscano.

Most people receive more guests and do a lot more visiting themselves during the winter holiday season. There are more parties at this time of the year and people tend to make more efforts to see family and old friends. Given the high number of guests, it's also when we should pay more attention to how they are greeted.

Sure, you want to give everyone a warm, personal welcome but the greeting can start long before they reach your front door. Both short and long walkways can be used to greet guests in a variety of ways and it's best accomplished with statues. The power and permanence of such a greeting is attested to by the fact that castles, manors, and churches in many parts of the world have been doing just that for centuries. Some ancient cities even greeted visitors with statues that flanked the main roadway to the front gate.

The practice has been popular because statues can make a bold statement. While a gargoyle statue was partly meant to intimidate all who dare pass the threshold, if you wish, you can provide a much more gentle welcome with angel sculptures. Our Majestic Angel Guardians were crafted for an Italian cathedral and provide guests with a royal welcome at your gate. A pair of Bergama Ranaissance Angel Statues also make for a fine welcome to your home.

Angel sculptures come in a variety of forms. They can be shown in a triumphant stance to proclaim the glory of God or as a guardian of a small child. Grieving angels are also shown with face covered by their robes as they mourn for a lost loved one. Despite their glorious appearance, angels are also a symbol of humble piety and this is typically depicted by statues in a kneeling position. The Angel of Alghero shows this with clasped hands and a serene, concentrated face. Get this unique sculpture for the garden and you will be displaying a close replica of a 19th century work of art from an Italian cathedral. Another replica of an angel sculpture from the same cathedral is shown with arms folded across the chest.

For similar kneeling angel statues on a larger scale, buy sculptures of the Intercession Angels. These beautifully detailed angel statues are also available with both clasped hands and crossed arms.

Stunning statues of kneeling angels can be used to flank doorways or the entrance to the backyard and the Bergama Renaissance Angels can also hold pillar candles. These angels are replicas of original marble statues and are carefully copied to show the same minute details in the wings, robes, and candle holders.

The stone garden angel adds a much needed touch to most gardens. Although they are supposed to live in Heaven, angels seem to be as at home in backyards decorated with garden statuary. The classic angel is easily recognized by the combination of flowing gown and large, feathered wings. However, as beautiful and peaceful as such statuary is, few people would refer to angels as being "cute". That's alright because cuteness is more the realm of garden fairies, gnomes, and statues of children. Nevertheless, at least one type of angel is arguably cute and works well at blending cuteness with class.

The cherub is the original cute, innocent angel and can impart a unique, pleasant appeal to the garden. The Balancing a Dream Sculpture is downright adorable and fit for both garden and the home interior. Curled up in peaceful slumber, the classic, artistic beauty of this cute little cherub will earn the admiration of just about anyone who sees it.

The cute and detailed A Cherub's Prayer Sculpture will act as an inspiration and melt the hearts of the most Grinch-like of your holiday guests. Kneeling on a book with readable text, this cutest of angels clasps hands in prayer and impresses with the beautiful face of a babe.

Angels are among the most classic and beloved of garden statuary. With their flowing gowns, beautiful, serene faces, and huge, otherworldly wings, they remind us of heavenly protection, peace, and comfort during difficult times. They look fantastic in any garden but one angel statue stands out for her musical qualities.

The Music from Heaven Angel Sculpture would be a gorgeous work of art on on its own but with the addition of a wind chime harp, she becomes one of the most interesting resin garden statues in your backyard. The strings on the harp that this angel is playing are actually wind chimes and they help give the garden an especially peaceful, magical atmosphere.

With wreath in her flowing tresses, robust feathered wings, and detailed gown, our musically inclined angel sits at the harp and plays for all guests to the garden. Painted with an antique stone finish that recalls the appearance of Victorian era angels, don't be surprised if this quality resin statue becomes one of your favorite items. Given the beauty and unique nature of this sculpture, it should come as no surprise that she is one of our most popular garden statuary items.

It's time to start thinking about gifts for family and friends and for some people, this represents an annual challenge. While one friend might like everything from furniture to a stone garden angel, there are always one or two people who have much more restricted tastes. If you happened to see Medieval home decor in their place, they might be the perfect candidate for gargoyles. Although that might sound like some odd Medieval curse, it actually refers to one of the most unique and enduring sculptural items in history.

Gargoyle statues aren't just meant to frighten evil away from the thresholds of cathedrals and castles, they also make for excellent backyard sculptures, some of which are downright cute. Take the Picc-a-Dilly Gargoyles Sculpture set for example. This little trio of easy-going, comical gargoyles aren't likely to scare anything out of the backyard but they will put a smile on the face of the grumpiest of holiday visitors.

Match that little trio of imps with your very own gargoyle warning sign and Oscar, the Gargoyle with Attitude statue. Unlike his much more threatening, clawed brethren, it looks as if Oscar might have given up on being scary. The look on his face shows that he makes no excuses for his lazy, carefree attitude.

Angels have a number of tasks. They act as guardians for children of all ages, represent grief and the act of mourning, and act as messengers from a higher power. They also fulfill the role of guardians and for this reason, the front doors of many cathedrals are flanked by beautiful sculptures of angels. Welcoming to the pious and intimidating to the evil-doer, they can also be used to flank the entranceway to gardens, backyards, and any type of home.

Although just about any angel statue will make an impression when placed next to a doorway, the angel sculptures that work best are the ones designed for this purpose. The Majestic Angel Guardians of the Gate are two such statues. Replicas of antique, 19th century angel statues from an Italian cathedral, these sculptures emanate a noble peace with large, detailed wings, flowing gowns, and thoughtful expressions on their stony faces. Crafted from quality fiberglass resin and painted with an antique stone finish, these resin garden statues are built to last and designed with artistic beauty. Place them next to a gate into the garden, flanking any doorway, or adjacent to a fireplace to impress all of your winter holiday guests.

Buy these and dozens of other high quality garden statuary items at Design Toscano to fit every decorating theme.

Artists have been sculpting statues of deities and other religious inspired themes since people first started making statues. Uses for worship, inspiration, reminders, and intrinsic beauty, they can also help to make the backyard a more peaceful place. Three of the most peaceful resin garden statues in our collection are:

• Madonna of Notre Dame Statue: This statue of the Madonna gives an open, peaceful welcome with outstretched arms and loving look on her face. This simple yet beautiful sculpture of the Madonna is based on similar statues that adorn French churches. 
• Nature's Nurturer Saint Francis Sculpture: One of the most peaceful and beloved of Catholic saints, Saint Francis shows his humble nature and devotion by renouncing everything and befriending all of God's creation. Offering food to the squirrels and birds that flock to him, this wonderfully detailed statue captures his love for the animal kingdom.
• Giant Buddha Monument-Sized Garden Sculpture: This large Buddha statue is four feet tall and depicts the enlightened one in the serene depths of meditation. Modeled after Buddha statues from southern Asia, this beautiful sculpture will help bring peace and tranquility to any type of garden.

Angels have been a common, recurring theme in gardens and cemeteries for centuries. Meant to bring peace to the garden or express a sense of mourning over a lost, loved one, angels have been shown in a variety of poses. They can be tall and intimidating as they tower above the garden with large, outstretched wings, look to the heavens with joy, or  they can be beautifully sad as they lower their head in a sign of mourning. Angels can also be seated as they ponder their surroundings in relaxed contemplation.

The Resting Grace Sitting Angel Sculpture captures the appearance and demeanor of the seated angel perfectly. With head resting on her hand, she contemplates your garden with a peaceful expression on her youthful face while the detailed folds of her long gown and feathered wings are a sight to behold.

For an even more relaxed look, you can't go wrong with the Afternoon Nap Angel Sculpture. This cute little cherub felt so at home in your garden that it fell fast asleep in a flower basket. With head resting on one of its wings, this baby angel is a perfect inspiration to take your own backyard nap.

Angel statues are classic garden sculptures. Their peaceful, otherworldly appearance adds a certain sense of tranquility to backyards, cemeteries, places of worship, and wherever else they are displayed. They also seem to fit into just about any decorating theme and more than a few look just as nice inside the home as out in the backyard. One such angel statue is the beautiful Brixton Abbey Angel Wall Sculpture.

The wings of this breathtaking child angel are nearly as large as herself and help to keep her in place as she carries a large shell filled with whatever bounty you provide. Put this fairy-like angel on one of your garden walls during warm weather and bring her into the house for the winter. The shell font can be filled with flower petals, potpourri, colorful stones, or other decorative items. 

Amazingly, the beautiful Brixton angel would have passed into obscurity if she hadn't been "rescued" by an antiques dealer from an old abbey. Although the name of the artist who sculpted this little angel for the abbey will probably always be a mystery, we can say that as with all of our replica pieces, close attention was paid to detail to recreate this wonderful wall sculpture.

GramPat from Swissvale, PA reviewed the Cat Memorial Angel Pet Statue: Stone.

Bottomline: Yes, would recommend to a friend.

Rating:

Comments: I purchased the sand angel memorial for my daughter after the passing of one of her cats. While it was a sad occasion, she was thrilled with it and when spring has finally settled in, will place it on the garden grave. The sand color adds warmth to the statue, and the look of peace on the sleeping cat's face eases the pain of losing a beloved pet.

Garden statuary comes in so many shapes, themes, and sizes that it can be hard to pick out the sculptures meant to beautify your backyard. Although some of those big, Buddha statues look downright inspirational, most folks tend to feel like they look out of place in non Asian-themed gardens. The same goes for Greek garden statues in a backyard that already hosts sculptures of a Giant Panda and pagodas. If the backyard is big enough, you could probably get away with dedicating different corners of the yard to different decorating themes but mixing them together is likely to result in a confusing, crowded, conglomeration of statuary.

In the case of angel statues, though, their universal appeal helps them fit into a wide variety of decorating themes. As long as an angel is placed off to the side of Asian-themed statues, they don't cause much of an intrusion. The same goes for a yard replete with animal garden statues. Although the animal sculptures are more colorful and generally realistic than sculptures of angels, as long as both types of statuary are kept somewhat separate, they don't really disrupt the decorating theme.

Is your backyard graced with angel and animal statues? Do you mix them together or keep them separated? Tell us about your yard in the comments!
